One or Two Things I Know for Sure
Chapter 9 Camera
It was possibly the strangest sight anyone will ever witness, so of course Wilson decided to his best friend around with a video camera. It just wasn't everyday that the grumpiest most sarcastic doctor in all the land the great Gregory House, got to walk around the hospital with a baby strapped to his chest.
It was even more fun because they were both specifically told that should any harm, possibly dangerous diseases, foul words, or stains of any kind, be found near the baby it would be taken away. House announced that to be cruel and unusual punishment. But Cameron arched a brow his way and told him if he didn't want to leave the eight-month-old in the daycare, and wanted to avoid clinic duty all day, he better follow the guidelines she'd set.
So nurses through out PPTH formed a pack that followed both doctors from floor to floor, making sure that it was really doctor House who was walking around the hospital with a baby. It just sounded too strange to be true.
This was just about the juiciest gossip they had gotten their hands on since it was confirmed that sweet Dr. Cameron was pregnant and the father was none other than Dr. House.
"Jimmy I swear I will make that damn camera a permanent part of your face if you don't put it down" House told his best friend, his eyes looking directly at the elevator doors.
"Come on, it's not everyday that you walk around with a baby" Wilson said, his camera still pointed at his friend and the little girl who had just discovered that she could in fact, fit her whole hand into her mouth.
"Actually it is. I just don't do it around people. You are being the exact example as to why" House pointed out, tapping his cane as if it would make the elevator hurry up.
"But it's so cute"
"You sound like such a girl"
Finally the elevators door opened and House steeped in, wishing that his friend would get trapped between the doors. He then looked down at his daughter, who apparently found her hand tasty.
"Hey, though I explained we don't eat phalanges" he told the little girl who looked up at him with the bluest eyes, her hand still in her mouth.
"Not even a year old and already she already doesn't listen to me" House sighed, which made Wilson laugh gently behind the camera. Annabel however just continued to look up at her father.
"So, lovely as all this blackmailing is. Why exactly are you carrying your daughter around?" Wilson asked, finally putting the camera down, so he could look at his friend.
"Cause she's too young to walk. And I thought you were smart Jimmy" House said, he turned to his friend a fake disappointment in his face.
Just as Wilson opened his mouth to defend his intelligence, Annabel decided that it was time to announce to the two men that she was hungry. So her father leaned against the wall of the metal box, and slowly undid the straps that were holding her in place, he really didn't understand how it was that Allison could undo them so easily the straps never made any sense to him. When he was able to free the little girl he handed her to his best friend who gave him a confused look.
"Are you going to handle me her bottle too?" Wilson asked as he held his godchild in a somewhat sitting position on his hip.
"No, but if you are that hungry I'm sure she can share" House answered and was able to finally free himself of all the straps and switched it for his daughter.
The doors opened and both doctors steeped outside, House with and even more uneven gait as he tried to balance his daughter in his arms, while reaching for a bottle he had conveniently stashed on his back pocket (something his fiancée liked to say he stole from Brad Pitt), as he made his way towards the cafeteria.
"Keep up Jimmy, I'm hungry"
When they had both sat down, Annabel still on her father's lap finishing her bottle House looked up at his friend and after stealing a handful of fries said:
"She had a cough this morning. I didn't want to let those idiots at the daycare to watch out after her when they have fifteen other kids in there"
